No period, but breastfeeding?
My daughter was born in August of last year. About six weeks after herbirth, my period resumed as normal. I had regular periods until March of this year. My menstruation then stopped. Ocassionally, I will have a few spots, but no real bleeding. I AM breastfeeding almost exclusively. I have heard of breastfeeding amenorreah, but I can only find stories concerning women who have not resumed their periods after birth.
Pregnancy isn't an option. I had a tubal the day after my daughter was born. What could be the issue here?

Thank you for your answers. I was a little worried that something may be wrong!
I'm not sure why you had periods for awhile and then they stopped again. Perhaps with her increased breastfeeding (as she grows up and has greater demand), that may have changed your hormone levels a bit. I didn't have any periods at all while I breast fed, at least not until they were a year old and just about weaned.
